So, do the majority of persons replying here, who are either arguing semantics or instructing how to theoretically determine what is permissible by the trucks ratings….do you guys actually know the answer or do you just like hearing yourself talk?
“An excellent missive…”. WTH kind of reply is that?
If you don’t have a relatively educated ACTUAL response for the OP, then it means you’re as clueless as him. So why not refrain and hope to gain something g from the thread rather than polluting it with arguments about how much the avg human weighs or mis interpreting the unit weight of gasoline?
Good grief…

STAND BACK!
I’ve got a large vocabulary and I’m not afraid to use it! ;)
It’s called a discussion. OP isn’t paying for answers and they get their money’s worth.
Like any other web forum, OP gets to sort through the chaff (like this post) & gets to have the final decision.
Bad day, Grit dog?

In my best Canadian voice, sooory! I appreciate your contribution as well.
And you're right, that is a good beginner's guide to the "lingo" and what it means.
My point was, not unlike many/most discussions here, which seem to get farther off track and more mis-informed than other public forums I'm on, if ya don't know, it's best to not reply.
If I read a post of someone asking how to repair a refrigerator, I don't reply, because I don't know. However it appears that many folks can't control themselves like that.
The "chaff" is what confuses the person asking for advice.

Heck, the OP can't even find the right tow rating for his truck yet. He's very likely not able to weed through the rest of the info and know what is true or false.
